fwd from L Moss Sharman Judge won't let convicted Bakersfield child molester post bail Brian Skoloff, AP Writer 3/15/04 ""In Bakersfield alone, 46 people were arrested in eight alleged child molestation rings. Thirty were convicted, eight had their charges dropped and eight struck plea deals that kept them from prison.

Grand jury convened for Dupre case By Chuck Colbert "A grand jury has been convened to investigate the case of Bishop Thomas L. Dupre, who resigned as head of the Springfield, Mass., diocese Feb. 11 after two men accused him of sexually molesting them more than 25 years ago, when they were 13 and 12 years old. If the grand jury indicts Dupre, he would become the first prelate with criminal allegations against him to face prosecution in the sex abuse crisis, still rocking the region and nation. "I have determined that there is probable cause to support these allegations," Hampden District Attorney William Bennett said..." http://natcath.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2004a/031904/031904j.htm

This difference may help explain why people with PTSD tend to recall traumatic memories as visual flashbacks, while those without the disorder recall verbal narratives. When persons with posttraumatic stress disorder remember trauma, right areas of their brains tend to be activated, whereas when individuals without PTSD remember trauma, left areas of their brains are apt to be aroused, according to a study reported in the January American Journal of Psychiatry. The study was headed by Ruth Lanius, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, and an affiliate of the Robarts Research Institute." http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/39/6/61

AP: Privacy Protecting Programs Killed
MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Two cutting-edge computer projects designed to preserve the privacy of Americans were quietly killed while Congress was restricting Pentagon data-gathering research in a widely publicized effort to protect innocent citizens from futuristic anti-terrorism tools.
As a result, the government is quietly pressing ahead with research into high-powered computer data-mining technology without the two most advanced privacy protections developed to police those terror-fighting tools.
"It's very inconsistent what they've done," said Teresa Lunt of the Palo Alto Research Center, head of one of the two government-funded privacy projects eliminated last fall.
Even members of Congress like Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who led the fight to restrict the Pentagon terrorism research, remain uncertain about the nature of the research or the safeguards. He won a temporary ban on using the tools against Americans on U.S. soil but wants to require the administration to give Congress a full description of all its data-mining research.
"We feel Congress is not getting enough information about who is undertaking this research and where it's headed and how they intend to protect the civil liberties of Americans," said Chris Fitzgerald, Wyden's spokesman.
